First, can you make the ‘Show +,-% on Map’ option to be more cleanly?
I mean, the decimals take too spaces in the display. They cover almost whole map every Monday in the map and it doesn’t look so good.
+14.2 would seem better when its +14, like P4E8 version’s one.

And, I think that current game’s interface is, somewhat graphic-based and un-intuitional, making a contrast with 2008 version.

Obviously, include all elections if possible. If you must choose, choose the above elections. They would be the most interesting as far as playing. I’m sure you may want to include FDR or Reagan elections but those were landslide victories.

Hello
A few notes
1) The game is way to easy playing as Obama even on the hardest level
2) I think playing day by day gets very boring in the primaries, could you increase it to weeks?
3) After barnstorming in a state the headline in the summary/newspaper says that the candidate/surrogate barnstormed in the state they were previously in. Michelle Obama is constantly campaigning in DC.
4) The game crashes and shows an error message when increasing the VPs debating skill.

1. Feedback noted.
2. There is a Fast Forward option once you have secured the nomination in the primaries. Options > Fast Forward.
3. I have fixed a bug that sounds like it was related to this – computer player’s surrogates wouldn’t barnstorm. Was this happening for your own surrogates or computer players’?
4. Thanks – fixed in the latest internal version.

Regarding surrogates and candidates campaigning I have only noticed it with the candidate Ive been playing with.
Regarding the fast forward button it is an ok thing, I dont like the loss of control though and would like to be able to amass a large war chest for the fall campaign, I personally prefer playing weekly before the general election, or if you could make it an option to do so.

Another idea I had would be to allow for joint (fundraising, campaign) events with the candidate and vp/surrogate if in the same state same day, could generate more momentum, different headlines and more money at a fundraiser.

If you get an endorsement, some endorsers can become surrogates. It will say ‘potential surrogate’ on the Endorsers Screen. Once you have gained their endorsement, that potential surrogate is automatically put into your list of possible surrogates. You can then create the surrogate by going to the Surrogate Screen, and creating them as you would any other surrogate.
